How Blast Past Your Fitness Barriers! - Part 2

by: Frank Smoot

Yes, as much as we'd like the road to fitness to be straight, smooth, and uninterrupted, it's a fact of like that you're going to bump into a few obstacles along the way.

Last time we looked at Roadblocks 1-3 and how to blast them out of your way on the road to success. In today's article (Part 2) we'll look at the next three in some detail. I'll cover the rest as we move through his 6-part series.

Success Roadblock Number Four: Inadequate Motivation ? You Don't Have Clear & Compelling Reasons To Succeed

As a success coach, I can tell you that very few people understand the necessity for having compelling reasons to power them toward their goals. If you don't have sufficiently strong motivations to overcome the inertia of the status quo, then you're either going to stay right where you are or end up right back where you are. It's really just that simple.

So what you need are two kinds of motivations. First, you need strong and compelling reasons why it's critically important for you to succeed. You need to be clear about the "cost-benefit equation" How will you benefit from achieving your goals? How will your life improve?

Second, you need strong and compelling reasons why it is utterly unacceptable for you to fail. Together, these opposing motivations will provide you with both the "push" and "pull" we talked about in Chapter 8 -- a truly powerful combination!

Success Roadblock Number Five: Rationalizing Your Self-Defeating Behaviors

If there's one thing we're all really good at, it is rationalizing our own self-defeating behaviors. I think this is something we learn from birth, or perhaps even in the womb, since all of us seem to suffer from it one way or another.

You can call it denial or whatever else you want, but the fact is that we seem to like to plod along from one day to the next in a blissful state of ignorance about our problems, and particularly about our health problems.

Actually, considering the state of contemporary "health care," this is completely understandable. As I never tire of pointing out, our medical / pharmaceutical / food processing industry is much more focused on illness than on health. And we, the public, can't help but pick up the money "vibe" behind everything they do.

Not that there aren't thousands of sincerely dedicated health care providers out there, but any objective observer would have to say that contemporary medicine is all about getting rid of the symptom, because they simply don't have either the time, the will, or the skill to solve problems at its root.

That's why it becomes our job to "repossess" the responsibility for our own health-care, to come out of denial, to be wide awake about the problem, and to actively pursue and find our own solutions. If we'll leave it up to the health-care industry, we'll have no one to blame but ourselves when we fail.

Success Roadblock Number Six: Arguing For Your Own Limitations

If this is a concept you're not familiar with, I can tell you it's a mighty important one. In a way, it is closely aligned with Success Factor Number One -- the belief that you can and will succeed. [Details about the ebook that explains the four Success Factors are at the end of this article.]

You can tell when you're arguing for your own limitations when you hear yourself starting sentences with, "I have never been able to?" or "This sort of thing just runs in my family," or "I don't see how I could ever?" or, the most popular one of all, "Yes, but?"

Arguing on behalf of your own limiting beliefs is the surest way to make sure they stay intact and in place, and continue to sabotage you forever.

It's safe to say that you have been arguing for a lot of your own limiting beliefs for as long as you have been able to argue. Can you think of any personal beliefs that fall into that category?

Several places in this book I have suggested that you start a Success Journal. Keeping this journal is a mandatory part of the success process. I've also talked about the importance of recognizing the negativity in your own internal dialogue. That's why I suggest keeping a Negativity Journal, where you will start to zero in on the specific wording that your negative, self-sabotaging beliefs and attitudes feed into your mind.

Being able to actually see your negative inner dialogue in print will make a huge difference in your consciousness awareness, and that is the first step toward eliminating any self-sabotaging behavior.

Fitness While Pregnant - Is It Safe?

by: Tina Titas

For many years it was believed that once a woman became pregnant she should just lounge on the couch and rest for hours on end, each and every day. After numerous clinical studies it was found that most women should do quite the opposite.

In most cases, women should continue with their daily routines, and if they are not doing so already, they should begin a regular daily fitness regimen.

It has been found that exercising during pregnancy has numerous beneficial effects. Exercising will give you more energy and stamina, increase your confidence, and give you the extra strength you need for delivering your newborn.

A daily fitness regimen performed by the mother-to-be during pregnancy has also been found to produce a healthier and stronger baby.

An added bonus for those of you dreading those long hours of child labor is that regular exercise during pregnancy has been known...

How To Improve Your Golf Swing with Fitness Training

by: Terl Tyler

Fitness training is one of the keys to help you improve your golf swing.

In addition fitness training can help you get in shape and feel better both on and off the golf course.

Performing exercises to build muscular strength can add power to your golf swing, boost your endurance, and loosen up your muscles and joints to help you avoid injuries both on and off the golf course. Most golfers will do the actual fitness training in a gym using either free weights, machines or a combination of both. However, you can also perform fitness training right at home using everyday items.

Your golf fitness training program should include exercises for the both the lower and upper body and primarily focus on those exercises that add to the motion of the golf swing. The program exercises should involve multi-joint movements that also include work for the torso. A strong, powerful...

About Diabetes and Exercise

About Diabetes and Exercise

by: Arnel Ricafranca

There are two main types of diabetes, type I and type II. Type I diabetes is characterized by the pancreas making too little or no insulin. An individual with diabetes type I will have to inject insulin throughout the day in order to control glucose levels. Type II diabetes, also known as adult onset diabetes, is characterized by the pancreas not producing enough insulin to control glucose levels or the cells not responding to insulin. When a cell does not respond to insulin, it is known as insulin resistance. When a subject is diagnosed with type II diabetes, exercise and weight control are prescribed as measures to help with insulin resistance. If this does not control glucose levels, then medication is prescribed. The risk factors for type II diabetes include: inactivity, high cholesterol, obesity, and hypertension. Inactivity alone is a very strong risk factor that has been proven to lead to diabetes...

Fitness Components For Golf

by: Mike Pedersen

The fitness components for golf are a select few, but they are critical to a golfers success.
The golf swing is a physically demanding movement on the human body.
It involves coordination, balance, stability, muscular strength and endurance, and dynamic sequence of motion just to name a few.

Do you think a body that is physically broken can accomplish a mechanically sound repeatable swing?

Based on the physical requirements of a mechanically good golf swing?NO way!
It is a physical impossibility to have a repeatable swing for 18 holes unless?you?ve implemented the fitness components for golf within a consistent program.

When you isolate your golf swing muscles?stretch and strengthen them?and improve the efficiency of sequencing your motions throughout the swing?you will no doubt be a massively improved golfer for the long term.

Isn?t that what you?re really...
